Continuity and Von Neumann boundedness #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
This files proves that for E
and F
two topological vector spaces over ℝ
or ℂ
,
if E
is first countable, then every locally bounded linear map E →ₛₗ[σ] F
is continuous
(this is linear_map.continuous_of_locally_bounded
).
We keep this file separate from analysis/locally_convex/bounded
in order not to import
analysis/normed_space/is_R_or_C
there, because defining the strong topology on the space of
continuous linear maps will require importing analysis/locally_convex/bounded
in
analysis/normed_space/operator_norm
.
